“Great guys. Its amazing how quick and painless these guys make the calibration of the smart start units especially when compared to the unbelievable pain the last place I dealt with was. I can't imagine these guys make much for these calibrations so I would have to think that the vehicle service portion of their business is also exceptionally convenient and catered to the customer. Will be back again and thank you.”

“AMOCO/BP fuel is the best! Your engine will thank you. Customer service at this location is great! Mechanical service is great! (I arrived late for an oil change - expecting to be asked to reschedule - knowing that I had a trip to Fargo the mechanics made it happen.)”

“I needed a propane tank refilled at Bauer's Minnoco today. The staff was super helpful, friendly, and taught me a little bit about propane tanks. They hooked me up with a reusable cap on the tank and took the time to explain how I would know that the tank was full based on the weight. A simple thing really, but the customer service was outstanding and even though they aren't my closest place to refill tanks, I'll be back.”

“Great price on gas yesterday compared to the a few miles up the road which was .13 a gallon more. The lady working there was very friendly and helpful. Felt like getting gas in a small town. I'll go there again next time in in the cities.”

“They have non oxy gas on the pump. This is 91 octane gasoline with no ethanol. I use this in all my two cycle engines and lawn mowers. It does not need to be stabilized, and does not decay gaskets or foul carburetors.”

“The bp on Excelsior near the Minnetonka/ Hopkins border has the most friendly employees of any gas station I know. My wife independently came to the same conclusion.”

“If I could give it six stars, I would. I was very impressed by one of their workers taking the time to look up directions to the local synagogue for me. A lot of gas station workers will try to help you with whatever, but not all of them will go this far. The bathroom is a little bit cleaner than one would expect from a gas station, plenty of food varieties.”

“I've never 5 started a gas station before, but the gal was amazing. It's just the best customer service of all time. In the case. The gas was five cents cheaper than the sign said”

“Minus one star because the car wash kinda sucks… it does an ok job cleaning the car but it does not stop dripping so the dry job is messed up instantly with several fat droplets… pretty annoying. No complaints on the gas station pumps though.”
